Hunting the Hunters

NISH DIENHART, head man at the Municipal Airport, is mapping his annual “hunt down the hunters” ‘campaign.

EDDIE ASH, ‘sports “editor of The Times, has & letter from Francis’ Royse, who some of you may remember as one of Butler's football stars. In fact, he was placed on Eddie's All-State team in 1929.

Fran lost his treasured copy. “Out here,” Fran writes, “a football player must resemble Tarzan before they give him much consideration.

Washington

_ WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.—The Administration now Junexpectedly faces a delicate question of pacing in “the Neutrality Act fight because some Republican ‘Senators are ready to go farther and faster than some in the Administration. 5 ; It isn’t a very serious problem, 3 | and if the Administration had 3 nothing else to .worry about it 4 would be sitting pretty indeed. . Three aggressive Republican Senators—Bridges of New Hampshire, Gurney of South Dakota, and Austin of Vermont, the assistant Republican leader—have put in a bill for complete repeal of the Neutrality Act. This is exactly wha{ the two “& Baptive Republicans in the cabinet, Knox and Stimson, urging for weeks. Secretary tenon also urges it. President Roosevelt is asking for revision only, for a change to permit arming of ships, which he wants done at once, and after that a change to permit American ships to go into belligerent ports. He was anxious for both changes at once but was persuaded by cautious advisers in the House to take it: one step at a time. Secretary of State Hull, while wanting both changes, is understood to look with doubt upon the proposition to repeal the whole act. The reason evidently is one of strategy, on the ground that an attempt to wipe out the whole so-called Neutrality Law would en~-

#0 counter much more public opposition than the two

' specific changes, Democrats Now. ‘Agin’ It

HOWEVER, IF CONGRESS took the matter into its own hands and passed the Republican-sponsored measure, it is not likely that a single tear would be shed in the Administration. The chances are against such action because Democratic Senators do not want to find themselves suddenly indebted to Republicans for bringing about the thing they really desire. So we may find the strange situation of Democratic Senators who want to see the Neutrality Ac wiped

LONDON, Oct. 23—There’ sa heart, throb at every. step in big, rambling Euston St. railroad station on Sunday night. Soldiers, sailors and airmen, they've been to London for 24 hours and on ‘Sunday night their all-too-brief leave is over. By the hundreds you see them saying goodby, ‘They don't say much until the train is about to leave and.then they all begin talking rapidly about little Wings. 1 They smile and joke, a lot of them do, un at that last half moment and then they look grimly sad. The girls and wives and mothers also laugh and talk things until the train is about to start and then, too, their laugher turns to a smiling grimness— through tears. ~ For as the carriage door slams shut and the train ~ begins slowly to pull up the track the girls and wives and mothers of the airmen and sailors, particularly, know that a too high percentage will not return.

out lining up against such a proposition because it| jl

comes from the Republican side. In fact soon after the Republican bill for ‘outright repeal was infroduced, three anti-Neutrality ‘Democrats, Pepper of Florida, Lee of Oklahoma and Green of Rhode Island, quickly introduced a limited: repeal measure retaining the arms-control section. They are just as hostile to the Neutrality Act as the three repeal Republicans. But after all, you know how it is, the Democrats have to keep the ball.

It’s Suspicious Partisanship

foreign policy in the a Mr. Roosevelt just went on calling the Republicans appeasers and acted as if his opponent was actually opposing his foreign policy. Even after the election, Mr. Roosevelt treated his défeated opponent like a fifth columnist, instead of bringing in the young fellow and enlisting his, heart and his broad strong back for some of the heavy work around here." Thus we see suspicious partisanship on the Detpos cratic side as we have seen it among so many Republicans who were ready to take any position once they were sure Mr. Roosevelt was on the other side. It may be good politics for the Administration to keep the Republicans as the party of appeasement and isolation. Mr. Roosevelt thought so in the last campaign. It is even better politics now because the isolationist cause has become so bedraggled that it can barely held its head up. But it doesn’t help the country. When Republicans are found who are willing, in spite of Mr. Roosevelt, to support his effort to protect the interests of the United States, their “help should be all the more welcome because it comes from the opposition party. This is 3 total war that we are dealing with, and if-we are going through with ‘the’ program in it will take both political parties to do it.
